Services
Chimney Flashing Repair
Custom metal flashing installations solve persistent chimney leaks caused by old tar seals or poor construction. Our technicians bend flashing on-site for perfect fit, addressing water intrusion at roof-chimney intersections while maintaining aesthetic appeal. This critical repair prevents structural damage and mold growth.
Flue Relining Systems
Stainless steel and aluminum liner installations restore safety to damaged or improperly sized flues. We address cracked clay tiles and noncompliant systems, improving efficiency for solid fuel, oil, or gas appliances while meeting National Fire Protection Association standards for safe venting.
Masonry Restoration
Tuckpointing and structural rebuilds address deteriorating mortar joints and damaged chimney blocks. Our masonry experts use matching materials for seamless repairs, rebuilding chimneys after storm damage or installing protective walls for wood stoves to restore both function and curb appeal.
Wood Stove Installation
Certified installations of free-standing stoves and fireplace inserts improve heating efficiency. We handle complete system setup including venting, manufactured stone surrounds, and protective walls, transforming outdated fireplaces into modern, wood-burning heating solutions.
Chase Cover Installation
Custom-fitted metal chase covers prevent water intrusion on prefabricated chimneys. We replace rusted covers with durable solutions that protect against weather damage while maintaining proper ventilation for gas or electric heating systems.

Report
This was the most unprofessional service people ever. He told us we needed a damper for a cost of $900 only to find out we already have one. We are getting smoke in the basement and he wont return our calls. We have asked for a refund and he again wont return our calls. DO NOT use this guy and his son!!! What ever you do dont use these people.
